Highly Available Axiom

Forum / Questions & Answers

Has anyone attempted to run Axiom HA. The typical scenario would be 2 web apps behind a network load balancer and talked to a single database as the backend. With Axiom, you could do the network load balancer, but since Axiom displays are files stored on the local machine, you'd have a different experience depending on which Axiom server the network load balancer sends you to. Any ideas if this is possible?

    Hi ,

    Yes. You would want to configure both Axiom services to use the same MSSQL database provider and the same User Data file path. The file path should be a UNC file path. The Axiom services themselves would need to run on a service account which would need read/write permissions to this directory.

       Whoa, we are real far down the rabbit hole! But that's awesome. Thanks.

      I'm guessing we can't store SQLite on the NAS? Whichever axiom starts first would lock it out from the other instance?

       Correct. If it was just a failover scenario and only one Axiom service was writing to the database, you could get away with just using SQLite. But if users will be directed to either Axiom service with the load balancer in front, each needs to be able to write to the database and I don't think SQLite can handle that.
